I'm going to try it one more time to see if the recent developments in the DNS chat have shifted opinions around. Having thought about it briefly all of the little "wrinkles" I can dream up myself that would be caused by CC based hosts existing in the FreeBSD.org namespace BUT do not run their own delegated DNS infrastructure get handled very neatly and cleanly if there is what I'll call a Mirror Site Coordinator. It also would solve other new issues (e.g. who amongst all the mirror sites should be in the TLD). I don't want to do an entire draft based on this idea before I ask if anyone would strongly object to there being a Mirror Site Coordinator. Exactly what that is (it could range anywhere from one person to all of hubs@) we can discuss later after we decide on the job description. If you are strongly against there being such a position speak now please. If there nobody says anything or if there seems to be a mix of opinions from the discussion that results I'll go ahead with a small proposal based on this and post it Monday. It basically addresses the issues that came up in the last two or three messages sent to the list. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
